December 2022 Gentlemanly Restraint Until Month End (GRUME)

Solved my travel shaving soap issue. Mike’s very seldom has the sample jars in stock these days, and if he did and I bought one, I’d be out of GRUME. So… I took my 1/3 remaining puck of Mike’s Barbershop, cut it in wedges, put it in a small chopped olive can. I heated it on the wood stove until it all fused together. Voila, my travel kit is now updated!

Sorry guys, I will not be joining December GRUME. After trying (and failing) twice, GRUME is curbing my enthusiasm.

For a few weeks now, I'm no longer eager to take pictures in my bathroom, or scrape glue dots at night getting things ready for the morning after.

I have a decent selection of gear and don't have anything in the shopping cart. But something simple like a new aftershave is enough to reignite my passion for hair removal. Without it, I don't know what will keep me going haha.

One look at your blade bank should do the trick my friend.

Enjoy!

Sorry you feel that way, odd how GRUME affects people differently. I definitely had some craving issues, and I am not completely resolved that I am not going to get some more vintage razors (or honing devices, or…).
For me, GRUME has forced me to start using all of my purchases, and I discovered the hidden jewel of the lot, my early postwar tech. It is shaving so well I am considering getting rid of some of my other shavers. Also, I’ve found that B&B offers plenty of promotional opportunities to actually use stuff I would otherwise neglect, like my Gem and Ever-Ready razors, Boar brush, Open Combs, different blades, etc. For me, this has mostly displaced my cravings and keeps things interesting. But we are all wired differently.
